Engineering a Career in Music

Story posted November 9, 2014 in News by Mikel Jones

Bill Frier says he has been playing music for as long as he can remember. Although he has an electrical engineering degree from Penn State, Frier has been playing at the Allen Street Grill in State College for over 17 years.

He remembers when The Grill used to have a line out the door "back in the day" and even compares it to the popularity of present day Pickles. Frier can be seen playing his tunes every Thursday night at The Grill.
